Chief Business Officer Training Program (Flexible Funds)

Funding for this program is unrestricted pursuant to SBX3 4 (Chapter 12, Statutes of 2009), enacted February 2009. For additional information, please refer to the Action on 2008 and 2009 Budget Acts Web page.

Before 2008-09, the funds were restricted to the Chief Business Officer (CBO) Training Program, which provided incentive funding to school districts, county offices of education, and direct-funded charter schools to send their CBOs or CBO candidates to training given by state-qualified training providers.

EligibilityCriteria

Local educational agencies (LEAs) that received funding in 2008-09 are eligible for funds.

Funding for this program from fiscal years 2009-10 through 2012-13 will be based on 2008-09 funding levels. LEAs will receive the same percentage of the available funding that they received of the funding allocated in 2008-09. For fiscal year 2009-10, LEAs will receive approximately the same amount they received based on revised totals for fiscal year 2008-09, less approximately 4.5 percent.

The funding for this program is now flexible pursuant to SBX3 4, Section 15, Education Code Section 42605, enacted in February 2009. LEAs may utilize all of their program funds to provide services for the program or they may use all or part of their program funds for other educational purposes and/or other categorical programs. Please note, however, that there are specific provisions in SBX3 4 that limit the flexibility for this program. See the flexibility Web page for details.
